WOW- 300 Retired Admirals and Generals Endorse McCain and I'd Swear I Saw a "Veterans for Obama" Sticker on a Car

So 300 of our nations retired military leaders think McCain is the right man for the job (active duty officers are prohibited from endorsing anyone), and the media has the audacity to claim that Obama 'tied' or 'beat' McCain in Friday night's debate which included a long topic on foreign affairs and war? Whom do you trust more: people who die for your freedom, or people who profit from advertising special stories on your suffering and sell commercials to others to watch it?

That certainly is an 'Audacity of Hope' that those liberals who put "Veterans for Obama" stickers on their cars ever actually served in the military with distinction, because if there are 300 known active McCain supporters of that level of rank that are retired already, there can't be many left (retired) who could sport such a sticker. At least not anyone whose held a high enough rank on the ladder of decisions that I'd trust.

ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced that 300 retired generals and admirals from around the country are endorsing John McCain for president. The retired generals and admirals announced their support with the following letter:

"We have had the honor and privilege of serving as career officers in the United States Armed Forces, and of serving shoulder to shoulder with so many of the fine young men and women who are the backbone of America's Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. It is that experience that informs our judgment that John McCain is the presidential candidate best suited to serve as America's Commander-in Chief from the day of his inauguration.

"Our next president will confront national security challenges as significant as those faced by any administration in at least a generation. Success will require a leader with proven tenacity, judgment and courage. It will also require a leader with detailed knowledge of our military and other instruments of national power, and with years of experience dealing seriously with foreign leaders.

"John McCain's entire life has been devoted to the service of America. Throughout a long and distinguished career in the military and in Congress, he has repeatedly displayed the courage and integrity to place America's interests first -- regardless of personal cost. And he has demonstrated the experience and wisdom to lead America -- and, importantly, our allies -- in effectively dealing with complex and vitally important national security challenges around the world.

"We unequivocally endorse him to continue his service to the country as the next President of the United States."
